Evenflo is recalling more than 36,000 Evenflo car seats—specifically the Titan 65 model—after a safety issue involving an incorrect instruction manual was identified, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The recall affects Evenflo Titan 65 car seats with model number 3712198, manufactured between March 17, 2025 and May 1, 2025. The issue? Some of these seats may have been shipped with the wrong instruction manual—meaning parents and caregivers could unintentionally install the seat incorrectly. This could lead to a child being improperly restrained, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
The recalled units do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, which governs child restraint systems. Improper installation due to incorrect instructions may sound like a small detail—but for parents, it’s everything. A secure fit and proper setup are what make these seats life-saving tools during an accident.

Why this matters
This recall is a reminder of how critical even the smallest pieces of equipment can be when it comes to protecting our kids. As default safety managers in our homes and cars, parents rely on instruction manuals to make the right choices. When that information is missing or incorrect, the consequences can be serious.
Whether you’re installing a car seat for the first time or doing the 100th school drop-off, it’s always okay to double-check. Your child’s safety—and your peace of mind—are worth it.
